Noun

caddism (uncountable)

  1. caddish behaviour
    • 1873, John Camden Hotten, The Slang Dictionary:
      A great deal of caddism is, however, perpetrated by those who profess to have the greatest horror of it—the upper classes—a fact which goes far to prove that it is impossible to fairly ascribe a distinctive feature to any grade of society.
